How to Request Temporary Green License Plates (Placas Verdes) in Itziar: Downloadable Template
If you have recently purchased a vehicle abroad or need to move a car that lacks permanent Spanish registration, you will need "Placas Verdes" (Green Plates). These are temporary license plates that allow you to legally drive a vehicle on Spanish roads while you finalize the complex process of permanent registration with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This guide provides you with a ready-to-use template to request this authorization.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Itziar
Itziar, being a locality within the municipality of Deba (Gipuzkoa), does not have a direct DGT office for processing vehicle registration files. You must direct your application to the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Gipuzkoa located in San Sebastián.
- Digital Submission: The most efficient way is to use the DGT electronic headquarters (Sede Electrónica) using your Digital Certificate or Cl@ve PIN.
- In-Person: You must request a prior appointment ("cita previa") via the DGT website or by calling 060. Once you have your appointment, you must present the documents at the provincial office in San Sebastián.
- Checklist: Ensure you have paid the corresponding DGT fee (Tasa 1.1) before your appointment, as the paperwork will not be processed without proof of payment.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your application is successful, you must attach the following documents to your template:
- Proof of Identity: Original and photocopy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Vehicle Documentation: Original technical documentation of the vehicle from the country of origin (or a certified translation if required).
- Proof of Purchase: Original invoice or purchase contract (if it is in a foreign language, a sworn translation may be requested).
- Payment Receipt: Proof of payment of the DGT fee (Tasa 1.1).
- Insurance: Proof of valid insurance cover for the vehicle during the temporary period.
Expert Tip: The Green Plate authorization is valid for 60 days and cannot be renewed. Ensure your documentation for the permanent registration (ITV inspection, Impuesto de Matriculación, and IVTM) is ready well before this deadline. If you are unsure about the translation requirements for your specific vehicle's origin, consult a local "Gestoría" in the Deba area to avoid unnecessary delays at the DGT office.
